hj them. They are accustomed to enduring hardships: thy are ar ustomed to Irregular hours daughter and applause; they are accutome 1 t- act on their own respon-

pihldty. on their own Initiative, and yet thev are accustomed to oDeying oraers quickly. Applause. There is not anything more soul-harrowing for a man in time- of war. or for a man engaged In a diflWIt Job in time of peace than to give an onl'T and have the gentleman addressed ay. 'What?' Lauahter The railroad n.an has got to learn that when an order 1.4 Irsued ther may be but a fraction of .ennd in which to obey It. He has got to Harn that orders are to be obeyed, and. I on ihf other hind, that tnere win come plenty of crises in which there will be no order to be obeyed, and he will have to act for himself. Applause. SOLDIERLY QUALITIES. "Niw, those are all qualities that go to the very essence of good soldiership, and I am not surprised at what General Sherman said; I am not surprised that you would make good soldiers I woul.' be ashamed of you If you did not. Laughter and applause. In raiding my own regiment, which was raised mainly In the Southwest, partly in the territory in which Mr. Sargent himself served as a soldier at one time, in Arizona, I got a number of railroad men. Of course, the first requisite was that a man should know how to shoot and how to ride. We wer raising the regiment in a hurry and we did not have time to te.-.ch him either. He had to know how to handle a horse and how to handle a rifle, to start with; but given the possession of those two qualities. I found that there was no group of our citlsens from whom better men could be drawn to do a soldier's work in a tight place and at all times than the railroad man. Applause. "Bu', gentlemen, the period of war is but a fractional part of the life of our Republic, and I earnestly hope and believe that it will he an even smaller part in the f it ur- than It has been in the past. It was the work that you have done in 'me of j Mi that especially attracted me to you. tr.at made me anxious to come down here and fee you. and that made me glad to speak to you. not for what I can tell you. but for the lesson It se-ms to me can be gained by all of our people from what you have done. Applause. "At the opening of the twentieth century rce face conditions vastly changed from what they were in this country and throughout the world a century ago. Our com x Industrial civilization under which l'Toy m has been so rapid and In which the ch.mg-.-a for good have been so great, has also inevitably seen the growth of certain tend r oles that are not for good, or at hast that are not wholly for good; and we in consequence as a people, like the rest of civilized mankind, find set before us for M lutlon during the coming century prob!' ms which need the best thought of ail of us. and the most earnest desire of all to .solve them well. If we expect to work out a solution satisfactory to our people atatlsn for the advantage of the Nation. In facing these problems it must be a comfort to every well-wisher of the Nation to .-e what has been done by your organisation. I believe emphatically in organized lab .r. Cheers and applause.

nothing saered in the name itself. To call an organisation an organization does not make it a good one. The worth of an organization depends upon its being handled with the courage, the skill, the wisdom, the spirit xt fair dealing us between man and man, and the wise self-restraint which I am glad to be able to say your brotherhood has shown. f Applause. J You now number close upon 44.000 memebrs. During the two years ending June 30 last you paid in to the general and benetW iary funds close upon a million and a half dollars. More than six and one-half millions have been paid In since the starting of the insurance clause in the constitution have been paid to disabled member and their beneficiaries. Over 50 per cent, of the amount paid was paid on account of accidents. Gentlemen, that Is a sufficient commentary upon the kind of profession which is yours. "You tace death and dangpr in time of peace as in time of war the men wearing 1'ncle Sam's uniform must Üuce thm. Your work is hard. Do you suppose I mention that because I pity you? No not a bit. I don't pity any rn;m who does hard work worth doing I admire him. Great applause. I pity the creature who does not

work, at whichever end of the social scale he may regard himself as being. The law of worthy work well done is the law of successful American life. Applause. J I believe in play, too play and play hard while you play; but don't make the mistake of thinking that that is the main thing. The work is what counts, and if a man does his work well and It is worth doing, then It matters but little In which line that work is done the man is a good American eltlsen. If he does his work In slipshod fashion, then no matter what kind of work it is, he is a poor American citizen. Applause. "I speak to the Brotherhood of Lnromotive firemen, but what I say applies to nil railroad men not only to the engineers who have served an apprenticeship as firemen, to the conductors, who, as a rule, have served an apprenticeship as brak--rren; but to all the men of all the organizations connected with railroad work. I know you do not grudge my saying that through you I am talking Id all tho railroad men of the country. You. in your organization as railway men, teach two lessons the lesson of how much can be accomplished by organization, by mutual self-help of the type that helps another in the only way by which in the long run a man who is a full-grown man really CSU) be helped that Is, by teaching him to help himself. Applause. You teach the benefits of organizations, and you also tfach the indispensable need of keeping absolutely unimpaired the faculty of individual initiative, the faculty by which each man brings himself to the highest point of perfection by exercising the gperial qualities with which he is himself endowed. INDIVIDUAL EFFORT. "The brotherhood has developed to this enormous extent since the days, now many years ago, when the first little band came together; and It has developed, not by crushing out individual initiative, but by developing it, by combining many Individual initiatives. "The Brotherhood of Firemen does much for all firemen, but I firmly believe that the Individual firemen, since the growth of the brotherhood, has been more, not ItJM, efficient than he w.ts twenty years ago. Applause. Membership in the brotherhood comes, as I understand it. after a nine montns probationary period. utur a man nas shown his worth he is then admitted. and stands on his footing as a brother. Now any m;)n who enters with the purpose of letting the brotherhood carry him s not worth much. Applause. The man who counts in the brotherhood is the man that pulls his own weight and a little more. Laughter. Much can be done by the brotherhood. I have Just hinted in the general figures I gave you at how much has been done, but It still remains true in the brotherhood and every where else throughout American life that In the last resort no thing can supply tbe place of the man's own individual qualities. We need those, no matter how perfect the organization is outside. There Is just as much need of nere, hardihood, power to face risks and accept responsibilities, in the engineer and firemen, whether on a flyer or a freight train, now that there ever was. Applause. "Much can be done by the association. A great deal can be accomplished bv work ing each for all and all for each; hut we must not forget that the first requisite in accomplishing that, is that each man should work for others by working for him self, by developing his own capacity. Isn t that common sense? I think so. The steady way in which a man can rise Is Illustrated by a little thing that happened yesterday. I came down here over the Queen & Cres cent railroad and the general manager who handled my train and who handled yours. was Mr. Maguire. Applause. J I used to know him in the old days when he was on his way up, and he began right at the bottom. He was a fireman at one time. He worked his way straight up and now he Is general manager and he put this convention here and he put me here. Applause. "I believe so emphatically In your organization because, while it teaches the need of working in union, of working In association, of working with deep purpose in our hearts, not merely on our lips, the sense of brotherhood, yet of necessity It still keeps, as your organization always must keep to the forefront, the worth of the individual qualities of man. Applause. Now I said to you that I came here in a sense not to speak to you, but to use your experience as an object lesson for all of us. an object lesson in good American citizenship. All professions, of course, do not call for the exercise to the s.une degree of the qualities of which I have spoken. Your profession Is one of those which I am inclined to feel play in modern life a greater part from the standpoint of character than we entirely realize. There is in modern life, with the growth of civilization, with the growth of luxury, a certain tendency to softening of the national fiber. There is a certain tendency to forget. In consequence of their disuse, the rugged virtues which Inspire life at the back of manhood, and I feel that professions like yours, like the profession of the railroad man of the country, have a tonic effect upon the whole body politic. GOOD QUALITIES. "It Is a good thing that there should be a large body of our fellow-citltens that there should be a profession whose members must, year in and year out, display those old, old qualities of courage, daring, resolution, unflinching willingness to meet danger at need. I hope to see all our people develop the softer, gentler vir tues to an ever-increasing degree, but I hope never to see them lose the sterner virtues that make men men. Applause. "I feel that the profession of railroading is a fine anti-scorbutic, that it docs away with the tendency toward softness. A man is not going to be a fireman or an engineer or serve well in any other capacity on a railroad long If. to speak technically, if he has a 'streak of yellow' in him. Laughter. You are going to find it out and he is going to be painfully conscious of it very soon. It Is a fine thint; for our people that we ehould have those qualities in evidence before us in the lifework of a big group of our citizens. In American citiati.ship we can succeed permanently only upon the basis of standing shoulder to shoulder, working in association by organization, each working for all. and yet remembering that we need each to so shape things that each man can develop to best advantage all the forces and powers at his command. "In your organization you accomplish much by means of the brotherhood, but you accomplish It because of the men who go to make up that brotherhood. If you had exactly the organization, exactly the laws, exactly the system, and yet were yourselves a poor set of men. the system would not save you. I will guarantee that from time to time you have men go in to try to serve for the nine months who prove that they do not have the stuff in them out of which you can make good men. Applause.) You have got to have the stuff In you. and If you have got the stuff you can make out of It a much finer man by means of the association, but you have got to have the material out of which to make It. So it la in citizenship. We need good laws, we need a good fundamental law of the type that we call the Constitution, but back of It all lies the need for the lack of which nothing else can supply the need for a higher average of Individual citizenship. Applause That we have got to have. It is Just as It is in war. When we went Into the Spanish war a lot of our national guards were armed with the black powder musket, a weapon which makes the crossbow rather recent by comparison. It always Irritates me to see any of our troop armed with such s weapon. I went to see each man have the best weapon, but if the man is a poor creature, no matter how good his weapon is, he will be beaten by a good man with a club. Laughter and applause. I want the best type of weapon, but I want the man behind the gun. Applause. FRAMEWORK Ml'ST BE GOOD. "It is so In our civil life. In citizenship. I want to see a good framework of labor organisation I want to aee a good framework under wise laws of corporate organisation I want to see good laws on the statute books for all of us. I want to see our admirable Constitution, whenever the

need comes, rendered still more admirable, even if it is necessary to amend it. Applause. But remembering the importance of all that, oh, my friends, what I hope we will never forget is that in the last resort the problem of good citizenship is the problem of producing good men and women. Applause. That Is the fundamental problem. All the organizations in the world, the best development ol the brotherhood will not make a coward or a shirk a good engineer or a good fireman, and the best law, the best constitution, will work but ill if we have not in the average citizen that which counts for more than intellect and stands as far above intellect as Intellect stands above mere brute strength-character; character that In composed of three elements: Of honesty, of courage and of hard common sense. "And now let me say a word, speaking not merely especially to the brotherhood, but speaking to ail our citisens. Governor M Millin, Mr. Mayor: I fail to see how any American can come to Chattanooga and go over the great battlefields in the neighborhood, the battlefields here in this State and Just across the border in my mother's State of Georgia cheers and applause, how any American can come here and see evidences of the mighty deeds done by the men who wore the blue and the men who wore the gray I fall to see how any man can come here and look upon these evidences and not go ' away a better American, prouder of the country, prouder bstSMllCi of the valor displayed on both sides in the contest, the valor, the self-devotion, the loyalty to the right as

each side saw the right. Appiause.J BRAVE CONFEDERATES. "Yesterday I was presented with a cane cut from the Chiekamauga battlefield by some young men of Northern Georgia. On the cane were engraved the names of three Union generals and three Confederate generals. One of those Union generals was at that time showing me over the battlefieldGeneral Boynton. Applause. Under one of the Confederate generals. General WheelST, I myself served. Applause. In my regiment there served under me in the ranks a son of General Hood, who commanded at one time the Confederate army against General Sherman. The only captain whom I had the opportunity of promoting to field rank and to whom this promotion was given for gallantry on the field, was Micah Jenkins, of South Carolina, the son of a Confederate general whose name you will find recorded among those who fought at Chiekamauga. Two of my captains, and by a strange fatality, the best two captains, were killed at Santiago one was Allyn Capron, the fifth in line, who from father to son had served in the regular army of the United States who had served in every war in which our country had been engaged. The other. Bucky O'Neill, his father had fought under Meagher, when on the day at Fredericksburg his brigade U ft more men under the stone wall than any other brigade did. "I had in my regiment men from the North and South; men from the East and from the "West; men whose fathers had fought under Grant and whose fathers had fought under Lee; colleg-e graduates, capitalists' sons, wage-workers, the man of means and the man who all his life had owed each day's bread to the day's toll; the Catholic, Protestant, Jew and gentile. Among my captains were men whose foref. it hers had bee n among the first white men to settle on Massachusetts bay and on the banks of the James, and others whose parents had come from Germany, from Ireland, from England, from France. They were all Americans and nothing else, and each man stood on his worth as a man to be judged by it and to succeed or fall accordingly as he did well or 111. Compared to the giant death wrestles that reeled over the mountains roundabout this city the fight at Santiago was the merest skirmish, but the spirit in which we handled ourselves there 1 hope was the spirit in which the men handled themselves in the big war and the spirit in which we have got to face our duties as citizens if we are to make this Republic what it must be made. "esterday in passing over the Chiekamauga battlefield I was immensely struck by the monument raised by Kentucky to the Union and Confederate soldiers from Kentucky who fell on that battlefield. The Inscription reads as follows: 'As we are united in life, and they united in death, let one monument perpetuate their deeds; and one people, forgetful of all asperities, forever hold in grateful remembrance all the glories of that terrible conflict which made all men free and retained every star on the Nation's flag.' Cheers and applause long continued. That Is a good sentiment. That is a sentiment by which we can all stand. And. oh, my friends, what does that sentiment have as its underlying spirit? The spirit of brotherhood ICheers and applause. "I firmly believe in my countrymen, and. therefore, believe that the chief thing necessary in order that they shall work together, is that they shall know one another; that the Northerner shall know the Southerner, and the man of one occupation know the man of another occupation; the man who works in one walk of life know the man who works in another walk of life, so that we may realize that the things that divide us are superficial, are unimportant, and that we are and must ever be knit together into one indissoluble mass by our American manhood." Cheers and applause.) SPEECH AT COURTHOUSE. When the President concluded there was enthusiastic cheering. The presidential party then took carriages and led a magnificent parade through the principal streets of the city. Composing the parade were citizens in carriages, representatives of the Brotherhood of Locomotive Firemen, the entire Seventh Cavalry Regiment mounted, details of mounted police and the local contingent of the state guard. The procession stopped at the county courthouse, where, from an Improvised platform In the yard. President Roosevelt delivered a short address to 10,000 people, saying: "Judge Moon, and you, my fellow-American citizens I have but a moment In which to speak to you. for we are already behind on the schedule, but I must express my pleasure at being here In your beautiful city, to speak to the men and women of this great State. For sixteen years the presidency of the United States has been filled by Tennesseeans. Tennessee has always home its part in the leadership of the Nation, in peace and in war. I shan't keep you but just sixty seconds more. The State of 'Old Hickory is a State of the entire American Republic, because everywhere throughout the Union we claim the greatest of Tennesseeans, Andrew Jackson, aj one of the greatest of Americans and an American whom all Americans delight to honor. Cheers and applause. There were differences as to Andrew Jackson's policies, but the character of the man. his rugged honesty, his absolute fearlessness, his devotion to the right as he saw the right, are the qualities which we never Ciin afford to lose sight of In this Republic. I am glad to be here to accept your greeting, to bid you welcome and to say that there is always a lesson and an inspiration to come to Tennessee, to come to the home of Andrew Jackson." Cheers and applause. The exercises were cuot short by rain at 1:20 o'clock and the presidential party hastened to the central depot, taking train at 1:30 o'clock over the Southern Railway for Knoxville. BRIEF STOPS O THE WAY The President Presented u ith Flowera by College Girls The Small Boy. ATHENS. Tenn., Sept. S. President Roosevelt arrived here at 3:15 p. m., and after a brief stop the presidential train continued on to Knoxville. He was greeted here by a large crowd. At Rlcevllle, Tenn.. where a stop was made for water, the President for the first time since he started on bis Southern trip shook hands with those about his car. It has been his custom to refrain from handshaking, but when a man In the crowd aked him to shake hands, the President said: "Well, this is a small crowd and I will shake your hands." He told the people hi had been over the battlefield of Chiekamauga and said that if a man were a half dec nt American he could not help beco ining a better citizen from such a trip. At Cleveland. Tenn.. the President appeared on the rear platform and a bevy of Kills from Centenary Female College nresented a handsome bouquet of flowers. The president made a brief address, thanking them for the gift. He was greeted by about 2.0UU people. The crowd that greeted the President at Athens wanted a speech. "I am glad to be at the seat of Grant University." he said. Before he could proceed the train began to back and a man in the crowd yelled: Why don't they stop this train T" "That Is a very proper question," answered the President. At this point a boy had to be pushed aside to prevent him from being run over. There the ubiquitous small boy again." said the President, 'do not let us turn this train Into a Juggernaut ." Congressman Henry R. Gibson, of Tennessee, snd R. W Austin. United States marshal for the Eastern district of the State, boarded the train at Chattanooga

as a reception committee from Knoxville. It was the intention of other members of the committee to meet the President at Chattanooga and they so Informed Secretary Cortelyou by telegraph. Mr. Cortelyou replied that hf was afraid there would not be accommodations on the train for all of them, but invited Congressmen Gibson and Brownlow to come. Mr. Brownlow was unable to accept the Invitation, so Mr. Austin took his place.

SPEECH U THE RAIN. Crowd Addressed hy the President at Knoxville, Despite Storm. KXOXVILL.E. Tenn.. Sept. 8 President Roosevelt braved the elements late this afternoon and in defiance of a hard rainstorm was driven through streets lined with people to a stand on Main avenue, nearly a mile from the depot, where he spoke to 12.000 people, who stood In quiet while a drenching rain poured down upon them. The presidential special arrived promptly at 5 o'clock and was met by a large reception committee, the Sixth Regiment Band and a battalion of militia. After the President stated he could stand the storm to see the people If the people could see him, carriages were taken and, preceded by the troops, the procession moved up the main business street to the speaker's stand erected in front of the Woman's building. All along the line of march the President stood with bared head, bowing to the cheering throng. Introduced by Congressman Henry R. Gibson, of this district, as a man who combined all the sterling traits of character of Andrew Johnson, Andrew Jackson and James Knox Polk, President Roosevelt spoke as follows: "My Fellow-Citizens and Countrymen I shall detain you for but a short time. I wish to thank you for having come out in this weather. Somebody asked me when it was raining so hard whether I would come up here anyway. I told them I guessed if you could stand it I could. Applause. I want to say how much I appreciate your having come out to see me, and I take it that your National Guard are not fair weather soldiers. "It has been an inspiration to come through East Tennessee "to-day as I have. I am sorry for my sake that the rain should have come at this particular moment, but you needed it and 1 am glad you have got It. Applause. "Yesterday I spent the time going over the great battlefields of Chiekamauga and Chattanooga, partly within the boundaries of your own State and partly within the boundaries of my mothers 8tate of Georgia. Now, I come here along the upper waters of the Tennessee to the seat of the first community settled by people of our stock, on the waters which flow into the gulf of Mexico. It was six years before the outbreak of the revolutionary war that the first little settlement out of which grew the great Sate of Tennessee was founded, and it was here in this region that the mounted riflemen gathered under the leadership of Sevier, the shaft in memory of whom you see there gathered to go across the mountains and strike at King's mountain the decisive 'blow which in the end freed the Southern States in the revolutionary war. tApplause. Right from the beginning the Tennesseeans showed themselves to be typical Americans In the way In which they proved their ability to contend in time ol peace. Great has been Tennessee's share in the leadership of the country, alike i:i war and peace. Applause. Because, my fellow-countrymen, while you have reen a great agricultural State, while you are now rapidly becoming in this section one of the greatest Industrial centers of the entire country, you have acted throughout with credit. Though It is great to produce the works of man, it is greater still to produce man himself. Applause. It is a great thing to have a factory, a mine, a railroad, but greatest of all is to have the high average of citizenship In the community applause that you have, the men with the power to produce the gentler virtues and the rougher virtues as needs be. "Tennessee has wen her place the typical Tennesseean stands as embodying so much. We are glad to call him the typical American because the Tennesseean has never shrunk from the roughness of life. The men who first came here on the headwaters of the tributaries of the Tennessee river built their little palisaded forts. The men did not come here in search of ease. They came here for this great rich and beautiful territory opened to them the chance of a victory worth having if they proved themselves men enough to wrest that victory from the throes of savage men and savage nature. I would preach to no man for whom I cared the snap of my finger a life of ease. The man who works is the man to be envied. Applause. He may work in one way or he may work in another, I care not the way in which he works if his work is worth doing and is well done. Applause. I care not if the man work with his hands or his head, what may be the line along which he has chosen to do his work. If his work is worth doing and 13 well done. "At Chiekamauga, Missionary ridge and Lookout mountain yesterday I saw the scene of the desperate fighting of the men who wore the blue and those who wore the gray. "Now, I shall try to talk no longer I won't melt myself your umbrellas are in the way applause and cries of 'Go ahead' put them down. And I will say I am very much obliged to you for coming out. and I hope you are one-half as glad to see me as I am to see you." Applause. At this time the storm had broke with such fury that the President's voice could not be heard ten feet from the stand. The entire party again took carriages and were driven to the residence of Mrs. William G. Brownlow. wife of Tennessee's famous editor, former Governor and United States senator. The President called on the aged lady and spent several minutes with her. Then the University of Tennessee mas visited, after which the party returned to the depot. The special pulled out promptly at 7 o'clock. Hot Springs. N. C. will be reached about 10 o'clock, and the party will spend the night there, going into Ashevllle at 8:30 o'clock to-morrow morning. Crowd at Morrlstovrn. MORRISTOWN. Tenn.. Sept. 8. President Roosevelt's train stopped here about five minutes at 8:45 o'clock, and the President found a large crowd waiting to greet him. He said he was glad he had come into the State and was especially glad that he had had an opportunity to visit the great battlefields around Chattanooga. He felt that It is an inspiration for everv good American to think of the deeds of valor done alike by the men who wore the blue and by those who wore the gray. He said that any man who was half an American ought to feel more like an American after having visited these fields. The President referred to the large number of Tennesseeans who have made names for themselves In the Nation's history and said that the greatest admiral the country has had in the last ninety years Farragut was a native of Tennessee. Thanks at Jefferson City. JEFFERSON CITY. Tenn., Sept. 8. When President Rosevelt's train reached here this evening he was greeted by several hundred people, to whom he spoke for several minutes. He referred to his trio of yesterday over the Chiekamauga battlefield and thanked the people for their greeting. A Fiery Welcome.

WAS MERELY A PIRATE

GERMANY JUSTIFIED IN DESTROY ING THE CRETE-A-PIERROT. Haltlen Provisional Government He. garded Firminist Gnnhoat an an OutIan and So Informed Germans. TEXT OF THE OFFICIAL REPORT COMMANDER OF THE PANTHER INTENDED TO EIZE THE PIRATE, But the Vessel Was Partly Wrecked by an Esploslon and He Finished the Work with His Guns. BERLIN, Sept. S.-The German Foreign Office informs the Associated Press that the Haltien provisional government communicated to Germany that Haiti regarded the Firminist gunboat Crete-a-Pierrot as a pirate and that the interests of Haiti were untouched by the action of the German gunboat Tanther In sinking the Crete-a-Pierrot at the entrance of the harbor of Gonaives. The Marine Ministry has given out the following official report of the sinking of the Firminist gunboat: "Captain Eckerman, of the Panther, has received orders to capture the piratical gunboat Crete-a-Pierrot. The Panther went from Port-au-Prince to Gonaives, where it completely surprised the Crete-a-Pierrot. The German commandant sent the following ultimatum: " 'Strike your colors within fifteen minutes and disembark from your ship without undertaking any defensive measures whatever, otherwise an immediate attack will follow.' "The Panther had already cleared for action. The Crete-a-Plerrot hauled down her flag within the allotted time, and the crew disembarked. The Panther then intended to take the Crete-a-Pierrot in tow, but an explosion of her after powder magazine soon occurred, which was evidently effected by the Crete-a-Pierrot's crew. The explosion destroyed her stern and set the vessel on fire, rendering taking her in tow impossible, especially as further explosions followed. As this was regarded as a hostile act, and as the guns afore were still in condition, the Panther's captain caused the lorward magazine to be exploded through a cannonade. After this was exploded the Crete-a-Pierrot broke up and sank. The admiral was on board with the rebels. "Gonaives is in the hands of the rebels." OMINOUS POSSIBILITIES. Comment of London Editors on the Aetion of Germany. LONDON, Sept. 9. Intense interest has been evoked by the sinking of the revolutionary gunboat Crete-a-Pierrot at Gonaives, Haiti, by the German cruiser Panther, and the morning papers devote lengthy editorial articles to the Incident. A majority of the papers agree that there is no likelihood of serious developments following the occurrence, but they expatiate upon the ominous possibilities which the affair has evoked. The Daily Telegraph says: "There is no doubt that Germany was perfectly within her legal rights in sinking the Crete-a-Pierrot, and she has secured a prominent and scrupulous respect for her mercantile flag throughout South American waters. No international complications will follow, but it is Impossible to overlook the danger that some similar incident in the future may drop the spark into the magazine of the Monroe doctrine." The Telegraph holds that the precedent established by this vigorous application of the "mailed fist," iffollowed, cannot faH to bring about a situation of perilous tension. The strict principles, the paper says, with which American statesmen regard Monroeism are one thing; the susceptibilities of the American people are another. The latter might become excited where the former were not technically contravened by an incident such as the sinking of the Crete-a-Pierrot. The Daily Mail dilates upon the gratifying unanimitqy of the views of Washington and Berlin concerning the incident, and says it believes the German captain of the Panther has done a good service if his action forms a basis of common action against irresponsible states like Haiti. The Morning Post says the Incident is particularly valuable, as in Introducing some necessary limitations to Monroeism as set forth by President Roosevelt and asks, "If the punitive process should involve the occupation of territory for its purpose what would be the attitude of the United States?" The Daily News published a striking analogy of the personal characteristics of Emperor William and President Roosevelt and refers to the possibilities of two men "of such amazing energy, who have so far only served their apprenticeships," being brought into a "conflict so powerful and so piquant that the faintest hint of it is sufficient to send a wave of excitement throughout the continents. If the Panther's action was meant as a hint to America Pn sident Roosevelt," says the Dally News, "has very astutely turned a blind eye to the signal; he declines to se any hint. A smaller man than the President would be tempted, under such circumstances, to play to the galleries. He has acted with characteristic good sense in brushing the matter aside as a trivial incident which has Illuminated by Its brief flash the vast sea of possibilities that would have to be faced should the old world ever come into direct conflict with Monroeism." The Standard says Germany has resented interference with her commerce by the anarchical West Indian blacks and has performed a very regular and commonplace action with the maximum of emphasis, and that is all. MAY HAVE A SALUTARY EFFECT. Germany's Action May Deter Other Belligerents from Seislna; Vessels. WASHINGTON, Sept. 8. As was expected, Mr. Powell, the United States minister to Haiti, reported promptly to the State Department the sinking of the Haitlen gunboat Crete-a-Plerrot by the German gunboat Panther. Both of the minister's dispatches are dated yesterday at Port-au-Prince. In the first dispatch the minister said it was reported that the Panther had called on Killlck to surrender; that he had refused and that the Panther had sunk the Crete-a-Plerrot and all the crew had been lost. The second and later dlspatch corrected the statement as to the crew, saying that they had escaped. The minister promised to make an extended report by mail. The Navy Department was also informed of the event In a dispatch received from Commander McLean, in command of the United States cruiser Cincinnati. As matters stand there is nothing to be done by the State Department at this Juncture. The offivials have not changed their view that the incident was one between the German and the Haitien governments and that it was not our business. The Berlin advices to the effect that the Haitien government has expressed its satisfaction with the situation being brought to the attention of the department here went to confirm the officials in their position. No American Interests have been affected, in their judgment, and as the United States has not recognized the revolutionists In Haiti there is no one to make complaint to this government. On the whole. It Is felt that the termination of KUllck's career In summary fashion may have a salutary effect, not only in Haiti, but also in South and Central American countries where heretofore the slightest revolutionary disturbance has been made the pretext for vexatious and expensive interference with foreign merchant vessels. Only recently the British cruiser Phaeton was obliged to force the Colombian government to release the British steamer Ecuador, which it was Intended to Impress into service as a troop transport, while still more recently Commander McCrea adopted a

similarly vigorous course with respect to this same Admiral Killlck, and It Is not doubted that had he remained In Haltlen waters he would have seized the Crete-a-Plerrot for violation of his warning to let foreign shipping alone. Altogether these active naval measures are tspw ted to have beneficial results throughout that section of the world, so far as foreign commerce is concerned.

Commander McCrea'a Opinion. BOSTON, Sept. 8. Commander Henry C. McCrea, of the gunboat Machias, now at the navy yard here, who recently was in Haitien waters in charge of the United States interests, was asked to-day for his opinion on the situation there. Commander McCrea was much interested in the reports of the sinking of the Firminist gunboat Crete-a-Pierrot by the German gunboat Panther. He said: 'From the newsp reports I presume the orders to the ei- i -man commander were to seize the Cret. -a-Pierrot and prevent further Interference with innocent foreign commerce and to sustain the position that the Crete-a-Pierrot had no right to seize or search foreign merchantmen since the Firminist government had not been recognized as belligerents.'' Continuing. Commander McCrea said that in his opinion this incident means that the situation will be clarified. For one thing he thought the Firminist government would have no means of transporting troops by water from one part of the island to another. MOROS TO BE PUNISHED GENERAL SIMNER TO LEAD A COLUMN AGAINST IMPLAIABLCS. Will Have Elarht Companies of Infantry, Two of Cavalry and a Battery I.ient. Parker Wonnded. MANILA., Sept. 8 General Chaffee has ordered General Sumner, commanding the Department of Mindanao, to lead a column against the Maccin Moros. In his order General Chaffee suggests that eight companies of infantry, two troops of cavalry and one battery shall form at Camp Vickars, Island of Mindanao. It is expected the column will move within a week. Most of the attacks upon the American forces have originated in the Maccin country. This movement is to be directed against hostilcs, several of whom are enumerated In General Chaffee's order. General Sumner is directed to require the hostiles to give a satisfactory pledge to refrain from aggression in the future. There are several Moro strongholds in the Maccin country. It is not definitely known where the first opposition will be encountered. This will depend on General Sumner's course after moving. General Sumner is directed to protect the friendly natives. WASHINGTON, Sept. 8.-The War Department has received a cable dispatch from General Chaffee, dated Manila, Sept. 6, stating that an attack was made on the United States troops at Matlllng Falls, seven miles from Camp Vickars. by Moros, Sept. L First Lieut. William ML Parker, Eleventh Infantry, and two soldiers were wounded and one soldier killed. General Chaffee also says: "Have authorized Brig. Gen. Samuel S. Sumner to move troops Into Maciu country and exact promise of good behavior in future from Datas and followers. Troops have been attacked twelve times since May 2. with loss to us of four killed and twelve wounded. We have remained all the time quiet, seeking friendship; in action, self-defense only." The last part of General Chaffee's dispatch evidently is intended to inform the War Department that the army has been acting wholly upon the defensive in the Moro country. His instructions have been to do nothing which yould provoke a conflict with the Moros and the position of the War Department is that If there is a conflict it must be justified by the aggressions of the Moros. Some time ago General Chaffee asked for authority to attack the Moros immediately, but he was advised the department wished to avoid hostilities if possible. At the same time it has long- been the belief of officials of the department that an aggressive campaign in Mindanao is Inevitable and it would not be surprising If there should be a forward movement of the United States troops in a short time. Mindanao Rieh in Gold and Coal. SAN FRANCISCO, Sept. 8 According to James Wilson, at present second assistant engineer of the transport Lawton, all that is needed is adequate legislation regulating land and mineral claims to make of the island of Mindanao a rich field for the gold prospector, the coal miner and the producer of India rubber and gutta percha. Already, according to Wilson, who has spent a long time in the interior of the big island, there are many Americans prospecting and preparing to develop the long latent possibilities of the new possession. Being by profession a marine engineer, Wilson is much more enthusiastic over the coal deposits In Mindanao than he Is over the gold. He claims that the coal found there, some specimens of which he brought back with him. is much superior to the Japanese coal, so extensively used in the Orient. Cholera Dlfflenlt to Check. SAN FRANCISCO, Sept. 8. "A bountiful downpour of rain is the only remedy which wMll check the cholera epidemic now raging in the v Philippines," so said Capt. E. H. Southall, a surgeon in the United States army, who has arrived here on the transport Buford. Captain Southall was for a time in charge of the cholera hospital In Manila. In speaking of the epidemic Captain Southall said: "The Americans In the Philippines seem unable to eope with the cholera plague. Despite the rigorous methods used to suppress it the disease seems to spread and increase. It is very difficult to get correct figures of the mortality due to cholera because of the fact that the natives hide the drad and try to keep knowledge of the presence of the disease from the authorities." The Sherman Leaves Manila. WASHINGTON. Sept. S.-The War Department is advised that the transport Sherman sailed from Manila Sept. 4 for San Francisco, with ninety-five sick, nineteen casuals and seventy-one discharged soldiers. CUBANS WANT MONEY. Determined to Raise a Loan of Thirty or Forty Million Dollnrs. HAVANA. Sept. 8 The matter of Cuban loans was discussed at length in the House of Representatives to-day. A majority of the members was clearly in favor of a loan of $35,000,000 and of giving President Palma the option of raising the entire loan at once or of raising it In two parts, one of $.11. .00,000 and the other of $4.000.000. it is proposed that provision be made to meet the interest on the loan by establishing a sinking fund by setting aside 10 per cent, of the customs receipts and by putting a tax on alcohol. It Is estimat-.l t h ;t t the latter measure would produce $1. ,). The idea of establishing a lottery to meet the loan has been abandoned. An amendment was Introduced to-day to Increase the loan to $4 and to set aside specific customs duties for interest and sinning fund. Rich Gamblers Heavily Fined. FREEHOLD. N. J..

KINGSTOWN, Island of St. Vincent, Sept. 6. Delayed in transmission The sights In the Windward district of this island, reuslting from the eruption of ths Souffriere volcano Sept. S, are very Interesting. The Rabacca river even now is a stream of fire, a quarter of a mile or more wide. The greater part of the Rabacca estate is wrapped in vapor and there are mimic eruptions everywhere. The river bed Is continuously throwing up columns and dense clouds of steam, mud and pebbles. The land has spread farther seaward and is changing considerably the appearance of the district from what It was prior to Sept. 3. This was probably caused by the ejects that flowed down ths slopes, filling the sea about the coast. Fifty laborers, deceived by the apparent quietude of the volcano, were working within the fire zone Wednesday at the extremity of the north of the Island, when they suddenly saw evidence of an approaching disturbance of the mountain. They were unable to leave the spot before electric flashes and an outpour of gases was about them. Then they hurriedly sought temporary shelter at the base of the mountain, where they remained throughout the terrible night, with forked lightning darting In all directions around them. All marvelously escaped unhurt and arrived at Kingstown yesterday. The port officer of Chateau Relalr, who saw the Souffriere from the sea yesterday, made the following report: "The mountain is considerably lower than before Sept. 3. and the appearance of the summit has changed. A large priortlon has evidently been blown off, and th hill has a more jagged contour. The neighborhood Is altered. New ridges, valleys and a strange ravine have been cut In the west side of the volcano, down to what was formerly the Carlb settlement of Haracal.

(CONCLUDED FROM FIRST PACE.) wife. The couple were standing in the front hall talking and Mrs. ("open haver was holding her baby and leaning against a chair. A few words passed between them, and Copenhaver grabbed his wife around the throat and held a large knife in one hand. The girl gave a cry, and Copenha r loosened his hold. Turning from his wife he said: "No, 1 won't kill you while you are holding the baby." He returned to the house last Thursday night in search of his wife, but the latter was at the home of Copenhaver 8 brother In North Indianapolis, where she remained all night. This seemed to anger Copenhaver, who told his wife's parents that he would teach the girl a lesson lor not staying at home. WHO COPENHAVER IS. Copenhaver Is a glacier by trade. He worked for some time for the Indianapolis Water Company, but lately has been employed by his brother, William Copenhaver, a cement contractor living on Sherman avenue in North Indianapolis. Much of his time was spent out of town. Recently he was in Chicago, and wrote every day to his wife. In these letters Copenhaver asked his wife to fosgive him for the way he had been acting. He pleaded with the girl to return to him, saying they would go to housekeeeplng. He said he would furnish her house nicely and treat her well. The girl wrote an answer to one of these, but he claimed he never received it. The couple have two children a girl eighteen months old and a boy four months old. Mr. Ferguson, father of the murd woman, Is employed by the Marlon County Construction Company. He said he was down town when the murder was committed. Before returning hotiip he was told by Thomas McDonald, foreman at the company's stable, that Copenhaver had been at the stable about 11 o'clock asking for him. Copenhaver said he would go over to ths house in search of Mr. Ferguson. Th latter is of opinion that Copenhaver intended killing him. The revolver used by Copenhaver is a brand new .32-callber of the bulldog pattern. When Copenhaver handed It to the police it contained five cartridge. four of which had been fired. In his coat, which Mrs. Taylor grabbed, two loaded cartridges were found. Copenhaver was well dressed yesterday when brought to the police station. After he was placed in a cell he lay on a bunk. He was very nervous, and would rise often and pace the corridor of the prison. Hs was questioned by offiecrs and others, bvit always ' remained silent, saying that he would talk at the prop r time. During the afternoon his pulse ran up to 120. Mrs. Taylor Lives In Fear.

She said Taylor was standing near the front fence yesterday morning Just prior to the shooting. She said that Taylor remained about the piece until after the shots were fired and then he ran to Roeber's saloon.
